I was given a laptop not to long ago that has linux and XP on it. I bumpted a corner and now it won't load. I turn it on the hard drive spins up sometime it starts to load goes to the linux/windows seletion screen and so on. sometime it dies. The screen receives power, the hard drives keeps spinning but it just stops and sits. Is it the hard drive or other. and what can I do about it.
